August 16

Let us pray:
God our Father,
we have been reminded
of the destruction and even death
that water can bring,
and we can reflect
that we are called
to die to selfishness and sin
- living, instead,
in the fullness of life
that Jesus promises.
In a country that is blessed
with an abundance of water,
perhaps we don’t fully appreciate
how vital water is for all life.
Water is used as a sign in Baptism
- a symbol of dying
to selfishness and sin,
and living the new life
that Jesus brings.
When Jesus was baptised
in the River Jordan,
he was placing himself beside
all who had sinned
and needed to make a new start
and live in a better way.
At that time, Father,
you were heard to say
that Jesus was your well-loved Son,
and the Holy Spirit rested upon him.
Fill us with your Spirit
that we may grow
in the realisation and faith
that we, too,
are your sons and daughters
whom you love greatly.
Amen.

Pray for Others

I pray for others, knowing they are loved and protected.

I hold my loved ones in prayer today remembering that, no matter what may be happening in their lives, they are divinely supported and their needs are met. The kingdom of God is their abundant supply.

There is only One Presence and One Power in the Universe—God the good. The power of God lives in each of us. I see my loved ones joyfully experiencing the power and presence of God in their lives.

As we walk through this life together, we each express the divine in our own unique way. Appreciating this truth, I send love to every living being on planet Earth.

I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth … so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:18-19

Daily Word

Regular prayer not applicable.

August 18

Let us pray:
God our Father,
we read of the commandment
“do not kill”
and think it doesn’t apply to us
because we don’t take anyone’s life.
Yet there are times
when we take life from others
by cruel words, sarcasm,
doing people down,
and gossiping.
Lead us to choose to bring life to others
- and not death.
Inspire us to break the cycle
of whatever is negative
or violent or evil
whenever we encounter them.
Let us not look for vengeance
- to get our own back -
but lead us to be generous
and ready to conquer evil
with goodness. Amen.
